Life Sci Ch.14

QuestionAnswer
Anther A sac-like structure at the tip of the stamen in which pollen grains are produced.
Apical Meristem The growing point in a vascular plant at the tip of a shoot or root where cell division occurs.
Calyx The whorl of sepals.
Carpel The female reproductive part of a flower consisting of the stigma, style, and ovary.
Club Moss The earliest group of seedless vascular plants.
Cone The ovulate strobilus on gymnosperms that contains ovules.
Conifer The dominant division of gymnosperms with the most variety of species.
Corolla The collection of petals in a flower.
Cotyledon The one (monocot) or two (dicot) primitive leaves present in a seed.
Cycad A division of gymnosperms that grow in tropical climates and resemble palm trees.
Dicot A group of angiosperms whose embryos possess two cotyledons; also known as eudicots.
Eudicots A group of angiosperms whose embryos possess two cotyledons; also known as dicots.
Fern A seedless vascular plant that produces large fronds; the most advanced group of seedless vascular plants.
Filament The thin stalk that links the anther to the base of the flower.
Gametophyte The haploid plant that produces gametes.
Gingkophyte A division of gymnosperm with one living species, Ginkgo biloba, a tree with fan-shaped leaves.
Gymnosperm A seed plant with naked seeds (seeds exposed on modified leaves or in cones).
Herbaceous Describes a plant without woody tissue.
Hornwort A group of nonvascular plants in which stomata appear.
Horsetail A seedless vascular plant characterized by a jointed stem.
Liverwort The most primitive group of nonvascular plants.
Monocot A related group of angiosperms that produce embryos with one cotyledon and pollen with a single ridge.
Moss A group of plants in which a primitive conductive system appears.
Nonvascular Plant A plant that lacks vascular tissue formed of specialized cells for the transport of water and nutrients.
Ovary The chamber that contains and protects the ovule or female megasporangium.
Petal A modified leaf interior to the sepal; colorful petals attract animal pollinators.
Phloem The vascular tissue responsible for transport of sugars, proteins, and other solutes.
Pistil The group of structures that constitute the female reproductive organ; also called the carpel.
Sepal A modified leaf that encloses the bud; outermost structure of a flower.
Sporangium The organ within which spores are produced.
Sporophyte The diploid plant that produces spores.
Stamen The group of structures that contain the male reproductive organs.
Stigma The uppermost structure of the carpel where pollen is deposited.
Strobili Cone-like structures that contain the sporangia.
Style The long, thin structure that links the stigma to the ovary.
Syngamy The union of two gametes in fertilization.
Vascular Plant A plant in which there is a network of cells that conduct water and solutes through the organism.
Whisk Fern A seedless vascular plant that lost roots and leaves by evolutionary reduction.
Xylem The vascular tissue responsible for long-distance transport of water and nutrients.
